In cities like Chaska, Minnesota, and elsewhere, it’s not uncommon for people to suggest applying for an internship as a way to gain valuable work experience and possible employment. After all, unpaid interns often contribute meaningfully to the business while proving that they are committed to their position. Unfortunately, though, some unpaid interns endure harassment and/or discrimination in the workplace without the legal protections necessary to speak out.

After deducting fees like state and federal taxes, most workers have a clear understanding of how much money they will take home from any given paycheck. Whether they’re paid on salary or hourly wages, employees in Minnesota and throughout the country can also typically count on receiving no less than minimum wage. However, it seems that such givens can be compromised by a practice that is fast gaining popularity among employers.

Millions of workers all across the country are protected against employment-related discrimination issues by state and federal legislation. In fact, Minnesota employees can be confident that they are protected under the law if they face workplace harassment or other forms of mistreatment on the grounds of their race, religion and/or sex, among other traits. Though, current federal employment law legislation continues to leave an entire demographic of the American workforce vulnerable to prejudicial workplace practices. That is why some LGBT-rights groups, employee advocates and progressive representatives are promoting the passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) through congress.

In many instances, employee unions represent Minnesota workers as a collective force, which may increase bargaining power and sway companies to meet the requests of their staff. There are times, however, when contract negotiations and other employment law conversations deteriorate and workers face serious consequences. After being prohibited from working for almost two years because of contract disputes, some Minnesota employees are faced with doing their old jobs even though they may be less than satisfied.

Unless some sort of settlement agreement is established soon, the Minnesota Senate could receive the type and amount of attention its members would surely rather avoid. And at the heart of the potentially scandalous issue is one wrongful termination lawsuit involving a staff member and any number of state legislatures.
